I am a dancer. My art is my soul!!!

The magic of dance studios

As soon as I enter a dance studio it's as if i step into another world, it is not a better world or a worse world, just different and it lives by its own rules, in its own dynamic.A world of tired, hurting people, who probably had their alarm ring at least for half an hour before they climbed out of their beds and into the shower, desperate to wash away the tiredness from a life with long days and short nights. A world with coffee, streching, jumps, sweat... on the other hand this is a world of magic. A world where dreams are made and lived. A world of creation, creativity, diversity and passion. a world of people who are comitted to this one beautiful thing called dance because their heart beats in the rythm of the music and their feet carry them on and on on this long and rocky road and they will never reach their final destination because therew is none. There will always be a new step to be learnt and a new feeling to be expressed for their souls and for our souls. You walk into those holy rooms, put your feet on the floor and connect with the world and you breathe the art and the dreams life is made of!

I dance because walking is too hard

Don't cry if it hurts/
 use pain a a car/
to take you to yourelf/
whoever you are//

The journey is long/
 but one thing is for sure/
hope is not a disease/
it's a cure//

If walking's too hard/
just jump and dance/
fly with the angels/
and take a chance//

poem3

The survivours in our life
are the ones who keep in going
they are running into knives
get up again, never showing.

The survivours never quit
they are hurting but keep pushing through
even if it doesn't fit
they will find a way to do.

The survivours are full of hope
though they sometimes fall apart
they will find a way to cope
another day another start.

The survivours fall and fly
as up and down they're flowing
even survivours sometimes cry
but keep fighting without knowing!

Thank you to my wonderful friends

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: REMEMBER, NO MAN IS A FAILIURE WHO HAS FRIENDS.  One thing I couldn't be more grateful for, are the people I met in my life who offered me a place in their heart. There have been some rough times in my life and some times where I thouht life's a game it's so easy. there have been times of tears and times of laughter. But even in my darkest hours, in times of despair I always had a shoulder to cry on. And in the most joyful moments there were people happy with me. The best thing in life you will ever experience is true friendship. to love and be loved in return...conditionless. Sometimes I don't manage to call very often, but if I do they always have an open ear for me. to hear the good and the bad news. to share my tears or my laughter. Some of my closest friends are far away and still I feel connected with them and I think of them every day with love. My friends believe in me in times when I dont believe in myself. My friends love me in times when I don't love myself.
I truly think if i wouldn't have had those people around me, I wouldn't have gone anywhere. WHEN THE DARKEST SHADOWS CRAWL/ AND YOU SIT AT HOME AND BAWL/ SOMEONE SAIS: YOUR PAIN IS MINE/ IT'S A FRIEND WHO SHARES THE TIME//IF DOOR TO DOOR OR MILES APART/YOU SHARE ONE SOUL YOU SHARE ONE HEART/ MONEY AND DIAMANTS LEAVE YOU COLD/ FRIENDSHIP IS THE ONLY GOLD!!!!!!!!(petra haller)                    Thank you soooo much people!!!!!!!!!

What is motivation?

My desire for dancing developed in my heart, before I even new what dancing was. It was a dream that seemed so far away, but at the same time it was stronger than all nightmares. It was so strong that I didn't even have to think about motivation. But after enough set backs you will find yourself asking the question: how can I go on? And from then on it is motivation that makes the difference when the alarm rings! Motivation means putting 100 per cent of your time, effort and energy into preperation. A dancers life is about total commitment. If you doubt what you are doing it will bring you down. If you have the most talented and best trained body but you don't have the mental capacity to deal with the challenges that will face you, you will not go anywhere! People told me all my life: you are not pretty enough,you are not talented enough, you started too late you will never book a job! And I was thinking: Maybe they are right. But I also knew I had a will. and I was hoping that in the end that will will prove greater than genious or talent. And I trained like a maniac! And I will finish this story with a quote by martha graham that I like very much and always think of when times get rough: "BEING A DANCER WAS AN ACT OF TOTAL COMMITMENT COSTING NOT LESS THAN EVERYTHING!"

poem2

The fire is burning you hardly can touch/ Life is for learning you want it so much/ How long can you handle the fear of defeat?/ will you shine like a candle or fall off your feet/ You can rise like a star or collapse for good/ find out who you are and do what you could/ Let there be no regret, strengthen your core/ don't do anything yet you could be sorry for/ The end of the rainbow you aim for a lot/ Just try with a new go use what you've got/ The sun will shine for a thousand years/ And you can grow like the flowers in spring/ There will be more laughter than tears/ Let the future bring what it wants to bring/ Just feel the burning in your heart/ It's not to hard if you reach your home/ The sweet pain injected by art/ walk straight ahead, you're never alone!

UNITY IN DIVERSITY

a song I like

Photograph each day so we can live forever. Sit in the light to make the dark a little darker and I dance to move only you and I fight to kiss and make up. I scream for some scilence. I laugh to laugh for once, not there so you notice I'm gone and I breath cuz it's necessary and I sigh when I see the moon. I dream to make sleep less boring..until there was you and I feel in the absence of heart and I plug my eyes to cry. And I'm hopelessly romantic and kicking the habits but all the hearts have darts. (unhearted, automatic loveletter)

dancing

dancing is crazy, dancing is hard, dancing is a mystery, dancing is an art, dancing is my yesterday, dancing is my start, dancing is my future, until I fall apart! (Petra Haller)
